Filled skutterudite compounds, with the formula MT4X12, where M is an alkali metal, alkaline-earth, lanthanide, or actinide, T is Fe, Ru, or Os, and X is P, As, or Sb, display a wide variety of interesting phenomena caused by strong electron correlations [1]. Among these, the three compounds CeOs4Sb12, PrOs4Sb12, and NdOs4Sb12, formed by employing Periodic Table neighbors for M, span the range from an antiferromagnetic (AFM) semimetal (M = Ce) via a 1.85 K unconventional (quadrupolar-fluctuation mediated) superconductor (M = Pr) to a 1 K ferromagnet (FM; M = Nd) [1]. In the course of an extended study of these compounds, we uncovered an unusual phase diagram for CeOs4Sb12 [1].
